FINOLINA – Naturally Dyed European Linen Fabric
Origin: Woven in Italy from European Flax | Width: Approx. 130cm
Finolina is our signature lightweight linen - refined, breathable, and radiant with natural colour. Woven in Italy from European-grown flax and hand-dyed by us in small batches here in Co. Clare, this fabric celebrates the tradition of natural dyeing with modern precision and care.
Available in three rich botanical shades:
💙 Medium Blue – classic indigo
💧 Light Indigo – soft, washed blue
🌿 Emerald Green – layered tones from indigo & pomegranate
Finolina has a cool, smooth hand and a gentle drape. Slightly narrower due to shrinkage in the dyeing process, it remains perfectly suited for garments and interior projects where natural beauty and material integrity matter.
The Fabric
Finolina is woven from 100% European flax, developed for us in a natural white and dyed entirely in-house using traditional indigo vats and plant-based extracts. This is a fine plain weave with a soft, structured touch—ideal for clothing and refined textile work.
Naturally dyed shades may show subtle variation, giving each fabric a unique, living quality - dyed in 5m lengths.

The Environment
Our Finolina dyes are made from plants—indigo, pomegranate, and other botanicals—using slow, non-toxic methods. We use rainwater harvesting, filtered water, and eco-conscious practices throughout our process. Linen itself is a sustainable fibre: low water use, zero waste, and 100% renewable.
Health & Comfort
Linen is breathable, naturally antibacterial, and kind to sensitive skin. Plant-dyed Finolina is free from synthetic chemicals, making it ideal for anyone seeking comfort and integrity in their textiles.
Care
Wash at 30°C with a mild, pH-neutral detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and optical brighteners. Dry flat or on a line while still damp. Colours may evolve gently with time, deepening the fabric’s story and softness.
